"In 2013, when the state of Oklahoma erected a statue of the Ten Commandments on the
grounds of the state capitol, a group calling themselves The Satanic Temple applied
to erect a statue of Baphomet alongside the Judeo-Christian tablets. Since that time,
The Satanic Temple has become a regular voice in national conversations about religious
freedom, disestablishment, and government overreach. In addition to petitioning for
Baphomet to appear alongside another monument of the Ten Commandments in Arkansas,
the group has launched campaigns to include Satanic "nativity scenes" on government
property in Florida, Michigan, and Indiana, offer Satanic prayers at a high school
football game in Seattle, and create "After School Satan" programs in elementary schools
that host Christian extracurricular programs. Since their 2012 founding, The Satanic
Temple has established 19 chapters and now claims 100,000 supporters. Is this just
a political group perpetuating a series of stunts? Or is it a sincere religious movement?
Speak of the Devil is the first book-length study of The Satanic Temple. Joseph Laycock,
a scholar of new religious movements, contends that the emergence of "political Satanism"
marks a significant moment in American religious history that will have a lasting
impact on how Americans frame debates about religious freedom. Though the group gained
attention for its strategic deployment of outrage, it claims to have developed beyond
politics into a genuine religious movement. Equal parts history and ethnography, Speak
of the Devil is Laycock's attempt to take seriously The Satanic Temple's work to redefine
religion, the nature of pluralism and religious tolerance, and what "religious freedom"
means in America."
